The Sombrero Galaxy, or Messier 104, is an odd galaxy, roughly 31 million light years from Earth.
This family of stars is noted for its massive brightly lit center, surrounded by dark, intricate lanes of dark dust.

It has been observed with the new #VLT instrument #ERIS, showing the gaseous and dusty ring almost symmetrically around the centre of the #galaxy.
The dark clouds represent interstellar dust that prevents us from seeing the stars behind them whereas the brighter spots are areas of rapid #star formation.
And we know that virtually all these stars are surrounded by #exoplanetary systems.
